Patch Notes 20/5/2017

[Collateral]

So I can finally punt the pesky WLs

Yes but there is nothing preventing them from pouncing you once they have landed again, so make sure to punt them off cliffs

That's exactly what I meant muahahaha

[xanderous]

Maybe now destruction players will stop complaining about WL's but i doubt it.

Nice! I'm glad changes are coming, if only they were changing Grace WP's instead of Wrath.....
But very glad some action is happening. Keep it up! One day 2H healing will make a glorious return #pray

?
They fixed bugs that WLs were freely allowed to exploit previously; their high burst damage is still ruining smallscale action.
Maybe with these changes they can no longer pull through keep walls, our pounce out of nowhere to keep walls, which is a good step into the proper direction when it comes to balancing the class to "normal" levels.

No cooldown on pounce, pounce in mid air, fetch through obstacles, pet that runs through the wall, undefendable pet CC, recently a bug with 1k fall damage on fetch (is that fixed yet?)... and all that coupled with very good mobility, medium armour, the best armour debuff (in an armour meta) and some of the best burst.

I had a RR100WL and got a RR42 one here and I know how good the class is. I was a strong opponent of the CD on Pounce, but all the other changes I am fully behind as WL stood out head and shoulders above most classes - and will remain to be a very very strong class with this patch.

The only area where it is lacking is in Warband play.

[DokB]

I'm still seeing White Lions pouncing mid air.

[Ringobloodtheork]

Awesome work, look forward playing my shammy, my cat and I approve, love the balance changes.

[Class Changes]

Careers - Shaman/Archmage

- Fury of Da Green/ Energy of Vaul now does regular healing type as opposed to raw healing type

So I guess you can change the type of healing on an ability... So the DoK/WP lifetap being changed to direct healing is possible... Well, not sure why anyone didn't just say it was lol.

Glad melee WP got the buff. Their single target burst is now 100% superior to melee dok so hopefully DoK's CoV and CoC will get some love to bring the proc's back in to even out the burst. Good changes, just frustrated how I was told yesterday that you can't change the healing type and then this patch note... a healing type was changed lol.

Looks like they can ;D
But still dat freaking am/shm life tap suxx like hell !
so easy to get 8k + heals .... and with healdebuff wow just 4-5 k heal

[peterthepan3]

Dps dok needs no love imo. Wp has better burst initially, but devour essence + dual wield + 2 dmg procs + perma aoe hd still makes dok 10x more potent.
